What would loudness war'd 320kbps MP3 files sound like using

it takes a little while to get accustomed to the quality of higher end phones. I assume most people wouldn't care

Depends on the phones.

I've been mixing for 14 years so there was a point where I hadn't used normal phones or earbuds in years and then tried some and couldn't understand how anyone can even enjoy music through them it sounded so awful but some buds are probably okay.

I would say that going from buds and consumer phones to say, DJ headphones, that don't have a flat response but are still very high end in terms of sound quality, would be amazing to a regular listener.

It's like upgrading to awesome speakers. DJpro2000s sound incredible. The bass being so deep and clear would blow their minds, everything else being bright and clear, would feel great.

I currently use AKG's, and I think something like studio phones with a flat response would, like you said, actually take getting used to. So on first listen they might think, 'these are really clear, but, I don't feel the same listening to the music.' and might take time to get used to it.

Some songs drive you nuts. Like the vocal panning in sublime's 'what I got' drives me nuts through good headphones, even though it's a good song.

those aren't high end headphones and 320 kbps mp3s would sound fine on them

but if you're listening to the kind of music that gets loudness war'd, just stick to your iphone earbuds

>kind of music that gets loudness war'd
That's basically every modern album except for RAM a few years ago.

You won't be able to truly get high fidelity audio using anything with a 3.5mm jack anyway.

Is this a new meme?

They sound fine through AKG 240 II and Amp pic related.
But I use a declipper and delossifier to get rid of artifacting. Like >>71156499 said being this flat takes some getting used to if you're new to it and using the proper tools is a necessity.

This is a cool post. Got anymore insight?

I'm not an audio pro like him but I agrew switching to super high end headphones can be an awesome experience if you're a serious music fan.

I dunno. What if your favourite album is something like Acid Rap were the only version available is a bootleg vinyl and a 320kbps MP3 download from Datpiff?
